Drawing from anticolonial scholarship, critical race theory, and critical youth studies--this paper positions youth inquiry as a form of resistance to schooling. Youth resistance communities represent learning contexts that insist on the immediacy of challenging the pain of normative schooling through Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR).…

Grant writing is an important component of academic research success across disciplines, especially in the biosciences. It also tends to be an activity that is perceived with significant anxiety and stress.

The home literacy environment (HLE) plays an important role in children's early literacy learning. Texting programs are an increasing feature of family literacy interventions that support parent engagement in their children's learning. Unlike face-to-face interventions, texting programs can offer sustained parental support at low cost and large…

This study explored the intricate dynamics between neuroticism and body image among adolescents, focusing on the mediating roles of mindfulness and self-compassion. We also differentiate between self-perceived body image--how individuals view their own bodies--and other-perceived body image--how they perceive others view their bodies. Participants…

Educational and playful forms of media are both pervasive in children's media landscape. Children tend to see play and learning as distinct, whereas parents tend to recognize the overlap between these categories; however, little research investigates children's and parents' conceptions of media as learning or play.

The adoption of learning analytics (LA) in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Mexico is still at an early stage despite increasing global interest and advances in the field. The use of educational data remains a challenging puzzle for many universities, which strive to provide students, teachers, and institutional administrators with…

Studies consistently show the social impact of spreading epistemologically unfounded beliefs (or 'conspiracy beliefs'), including negative effects on public health. The present study identified correlations among epistemologically unfounded beliefs, authoritarianism, and scientific literacy in a representative sample of 303 Slovak secondary school…

The article proposes a shift from hope to joy as an under appreciated educational affect. To make this claim, the author pivots to…
